XVIII. CEPHALUS
1. Sud. lex. s. v.: Κέφαλος Ἀθηναῖος, ῥήτωρ καὶ δημαγωγός, ὃς πρῶτος προοίμια καὶ ἐπιλόγους προσέθηκε. Haec, sicut tradita sunt, vix posse esse vera, non est cur moneamus.
2. Athenaeus 592 c: ἥττητο δὲ καὶ ὁ Λυσίας Λαγίδος τῆς ἑταίρας, ἧς ἔγραψεν ἐγκώμιον Κέφαλος ὁ ῥήτωρ. 1 An Λαΐδος?

XVIII. Cephalus
1. Suda s.v.: Kephalus of Athens, rhetorician and demagogue, who was the first to add prologues and epilogues. I need hardly warn the reader that these words, as they are transmitted, can hardly be true.
2. Athenaeus: Lysias too fell for the courtesan Lagis (maybe ‘Laïs’?), for whom the rhetorician Kephalus wrote a eulogy. Maybe "Lais" ? |
